Rose Vigdal from Habitat for Humanity to speak at Temple Beth Hillel in South Windsor

On August 4, at 7:00pm Rose Vigdal from Habitat for Humanity will speak at Temple Beth Hillel during services. With her prior seven years of experience at Hartford Habitat she understands the Habitat for Humanity mission and shares in the vision of "A world where everyone has a decent place to live." Working on builds in the Greater Hartford area, Rose has experienced the strengthening of communities by empowering families to change not only their lives, but also the lives of future generations through homeownership and home preservation opportunities.

In 2015 she expanded her knowledge and went on a Habitat Global Village trip. A team of 13 went to build with Habitat Guatemala's Chimaltenango affiliate (Habitat's oldest and largest International affiliate) for their Casa Mil75 project. This project incorporated over 1,100 people involved nationally, including 700 national volunteers on 181 local committees. The goal was to build the 75,000th home which they did. When asked about Habitat’s mission, Rose responded,

"Everyone should have a place to call home, Habitat provides that opportunity to those who are willing to work and make it happen."

During the months of November through April, Hartford Habitat would love to host your individual teams, families, faith and civic groups. They will be building in East Hartford, New Britain and Hartford.

It's a full day of building and learning with your team on a Habitat site. Volunteers are the heart and soul of Habitats mission. You will join the ranks of over 4,000 volunteers who contribute over 30,000 hours each year to support Hartford Area Habitat for Humanity
